I was fishing for a handicap placard, after I walk my dog 2 miles in the AM, and later for the 3 miles at night, my feet hurt and I just have a hard time walking from the parking lot to the store. Doc and my wife said no way.

Sounds like a lot of my overweight patients...they want a handicap placard because they get dyspnea walking from the parking lot to the store. Lose weight!!!! If anything, I encourage you to park at the END of the lot and walk further! Society today makes it too easy for people to be lazy.

Used to haul my lifelong wheelchair bound friend to college where the parking lot was full of the "entitled" folks cars. We wanted to change the sign to "Lardass Parking Only"."

We get lots of stink eye from people when I park in handicapped spots for my 39 year old 6'4" husband. Someone, like you I suppose, had the balls to say something to me. I asked if he wanted to see my husband's quintuple chest lumen or if he wanted the number to my husband's oncologist.

Welcome to my whining!
